Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The location was great with easy access to the ski slopes and amenities in Flaine. The rooms were comfortable but had a few issues, and the dining experience was mixed. The service was satisfactory, and the facilities were good overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had beautiful views of the slopes from the balcony, but they were incredibly tiny, making it challenging to navigate with luggage and ski gear. Additionally, noise from outside could be quite disruptive, especially during late hours. The service was quite good, with amenities like housekeeping and ski equipment hire available, but there were a few missed opportunities in terms of convenience. The location was fantastic, offering ski-in/ski-out access to shops and restaurants, with great entertainment options in the area. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, as there were issues with table availability and seating capacity during peak times.
